We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Timetm). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

I have a huge list (>20,000) of youtube video IDs I've watched from a google takeout, and I'd like to download them all because why not. However, some of them are livestreams and some are still ongoing (for example if youtube-dl starts on monstercat fm it'll never stop). I can't find an obvious option to skip livestreams and only download IDs that represent normal videos.

I really don't understand downloaders of YouTube. I expected Google to do something about it and it looks like they don't care.
People are online all the time, stream it, internet is cheaper now, we sell 50mbit at 50 bucks a month and that's cheap where we're at.

I live in a country where we don't follow any standards. Third world and we always find a way to break the rule.
Regardless of what connectivity we (any sp) give out, YouTube is bypassed; meaning whatever is coming from a node, not what is coming across the internet. This is mostly true for 90% of the home user connections given out and hence my question.
